Graskantsteker handle ATLAS made of ash wood, straight handle with a wide grip and ferrule, 85 cm in length. This handle is suitable for edging knives with a tang. The 24 cm wide grip provides a comfortable hold and good working posture.
ATLAS edging knife handles are made from ash tree roots, which contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood undergoes two drying processes: during the first drying process, sawn ash wood boards are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. Because of the re-drying, the handle does not shrink and the tool stays firmly attached to the handle.
The ATLAS handle is then waxed with the plant-based Carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its beautiful natural color. The waxing provides a longer lifespan and a pleasantly smooth handle, which helps prevent blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
This ATLAS graskantsteker handle is manufactured entirely carbon-neutrally in the Netherlands.
